Duress is a dark thriller (Greek title Sta akra) directed by Jordan Barker and shot in Los Angeles. The original soundtrack was composed by Dimitris Kontopoulos, who also wrote the Greek Eurovision Song Contest 2009 entry This is our night which was performed by Sakis Rouvas.

@Lina !!!
Oh, how sad! 
Hope the situation will be normal soon with ur sister and u can ask her then! 
@kenan he he he ur right but i have a small fight yesterday with my sister and i dont want to ask her
@Lina !!!
WOW, congrats to her! 
But i think u should ask her, not me!
is my sister friend
@Lina !!!
It's not Turkish i think, but it sounds a bit Arabic or Albanian! LOL 
Why? Is that ur friend?
@Kenan dont worry , i speak worst english from you btw i want to ask you something..the name Bimla Safka is turkish name?
@Lina !!!
Don't worry, I can understand u! 
But this part of ur comment is wrong: 'The majority who speak bad for Sakis is from Turkey'! This part is wrong, because Sakis is famous here in Turkey, everyone likes his song here ( I also of course )! And the people, who speaks bad for Sakis are just stupids, who want to fight with someone ( who likes fights with someone )! Sorry for my English!
@Kenan sorry, i just get upset from all that who speak bad about Sakis, whell... i m not Sakis fan but i dont like to speak with that way for him, and the majority who speak bad for Sakis is from Turkey, ok i understand that some persons dont like him but is not neccesary to react with ironic comments like @Rich L, @B. Shekerim, @Turquality fire, @Shiny Montenegro and @Serkan boga. Sakis show to everybody that he is very good performer even and with no good songs. And again i say sorry to my turkish friends for my bad behaviour about Hadise .
SAKIS is a real star 
He deserves the BEST!!!!!!
@Lina !!!
Are u sure? I mean, do u really think Sakis can sing better than Hadise? 
I don't think so, Sakis and Hadise can sing both very good! Hadise's voice in the ESC was bad i agree, but that was so, because 'Düm Tek Tek' wasn't Hadise's type of music! Her type is RnB, not oriental pop!
i think that the most interesting entury this year will be Natali Thanou for Serbia , she is a fameous performer , singer and playmate that lives in Greece , and now she considers going esc2010! we will for sure vote for her , just check her out http://www.youtube.c(...)/watch?v=16XZePOEARg
@Sergan boka, if u r not interest about Sakis its simple , u dont open each Sakis post . And something for the rest turks who says that Sakis find his way beacuse he is not a good singer ( off course with ironic comments ) , I wish Hadise to find her way like Sakis do beacuse she is not better than Sakis in singing Sakis is not the best singer but he proof that he can do a lot of things with success and i wish all singers who pass from ESC to have a little of his success in they r life.
im sick of Sakis' news on ESC web-sites!!!! Wtf?? I'm not interested about what he does in every single minute! who cares??
I have to agree with Kenan here.. All summer we have seen specific people slagging off specific singers and countries so to push for their own favourites.. Enough guys!!! We all have our lies and dislikes but nobody gives us the right to get political in a music forum and go against Greece, Turkey, Albania, France or any other nation.
When Sakis came to Germany and went to see him I've seen with my own eyes that he trully shines.. It was one of the most impressive show he did in Russia, not so much vocally but as a show man.. And he is trying to get into the cinema like many other artists did, what is wrong with that?
Watching the trailer I believe he must be good at this role and I have to say a big well done to him that either coming from a small country like Greece he keeps trying..
We should all of us try to be better every day and stop seeing and judge the other people's actions, but improve ourselves instead..
I'm glad they are still people here who believe in love between people no matter ethnicity, age, colour, religion or sexuality...
Love u all guys and why not Sakis as well, he is a hottie he he!!!
@Kenan
Its no problem canim i was only speaking the truth
@Angelic
Thank u canim!
@Sunny Montenegro
Why do u insulted me? I have no problem with u, and i didn't said that to make u angry, don't worry! But sometimes it's going on my nerves, when u insult singers and even countries here! 
Please stop with that or go to a political site and write ur stuff there but not here!
@ Angelic,
Therefore exactly I've suggested him to imrove his IQ :-)
@Sunny Montenegro
Why do you always throw insults left, right, and centre??? Your behaving childish i don't know if your aware of that.
Just for the record Kenan is very intelligent and mature for his age
Kenan,
Check your IQ.
@Sunny Montenegro
What's ur problem with Sakis?
Sakis is a storm in a glass of water! This is neither the Olympics nor the Junior ESC and his behaviour is childish.
Sakis in a movie? Well, judging from his steamy performance in Moscow I can only imagine what kind of movie this is...
I dont like him

he sounds creepy in the trailor... it's just his character right? loool
sakis noticed that the best hing for him being actor... not singing hahahah thats good news for him.. good luck sakisss
